The university received a report in September about potential hazing at the fraternity, according to officials. Following an investigation, OU determined that Beta Upsilon Chi's new member process included a structured points system called "Family Points," which assigned new members various food and soda consumption "challenges" or "missions," sports challenges, and acts of personal servitude for active members.

According to the university's report, new members were required to answer questions about their "Bigs" during an activity called "Family Tradition." Incorrect answers carried consequences such as "chugging soda and running while being monitored by active members in the assigned family."

The report also described "Blackout Bingo," which involved acts of servitude, meaningless tasks, picture scavenger hunts, outdoor challenges, or competitions solely for new members.

As a result of the findings, the fraternity was found responsible for hazing and hazing-physical harm.

The university imposed several sanctions, including a hazing education workshop, a revised new member education plan, a leadership accountability meeting, and disciplinary probation. The full terms and duration of the probation were not immediately detailed in the university's statement.

The sanctions come as universities nationwide face heightened scrutiny over Greek life conduct and hazing. OU has previously investigated and disciplined fraternities for similar violations, and the latest case adds to a growing record of accountability measures on campus.

Beta Upsilon Chi, a Christian fraternity with chapters across the country, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The university said it would continue to monitor the chapter's compliance with the sanctions.
